UNCLE OBAMMY'S HYPER-INFLATION
We all bitch and moan and complain when the government takes our money and redistributes it. We all call for a return to smaller government. I personally think that Libertarians are communist pukes. You are either for government or against it. No grey areas. Abolish the whole damn mess, don't pick and choose what remains. I'm telling you I am a pure anarchist because I don't want to be accused of being pro-government after this article. Of course, trolls are infamous for being able to forget what they just read to make their point so I'm sure I'll get called an Obammy Lover or Liberal or other such hateful names.

By and large, our economy is mostly government stimulus or control. If the government doesn't directly pay you, they pay your company through contracts or grants. Or, your monopoly was granted by the government. Or, you live off some type of government rule. I believe the number of civil servants, at all levels, is around 17% or thereabouts. Add in a few "private" workers like postal workers and I doubt we would even get to 20%. The government employs a lot more, but the way they've set it up it sounds better and allows the illusion of a capitalist economy. Blackwater or Haliburtan or McDonald-Douglas might be private companies but they don't exist without government contracts. Hell, I'm dependant on my minimum wage job from Federal grants. So while I complain about Seniors on welfare, I'm just as much to blame as anyone. We are mostly all suckling at the public feed bin. Doctors are by large a noble breed. A certain percentage do get involved for the money but I think mostly they simply want to help others. After malpractice insurance and school loans is it all that great of pay anyway ( I'm discounting the profit practices such as boob jobs and talking about health care professionals )?
Yet despite that, it is also true that without the government granted monopoly they would earn far less and have a lot more competition.

Accountants live off both a government granted monopoly and the need to serve the IRS code as interpreters. And these are just the obvious occupations. Don't forget Union blue collar workers have the government to thank for their high wages and generous benefits. A used car salesman is helped by public subsidized low gasoline prices ( how much would gas cost if Exxon had to protect the Saudi oil fields? ). A welfare single mother gets off assistance and opens her own beauty salon. Or does she? Training is regulated and licenses are necessary. She earns more because of the cost barrier to entry, so she is still somewhat reliant on government for her paycheck. Would private business still be viable in a town next to the University or military base if they didn't accept taxpayer funded paychecks? I'm not placing blame or pointing fingers or trying to act superior. My point is that most of us are involved in this big scam and couldn't escape if we wanted to.
*
Having said all this, that our economy is only functioning with government stimulus, we now come to the somewhat bright side. Yes, government caused all these problems. But it will also somewhat shield us from the consequences of its own folly for a time. If the economy was mostly private sector such as during the last Depression, we would fall hard and fast as the bankers got in trouble. This time, we will have a longer grace period as government spending keeps more employed. More than the 17% of civil servants. In the end, we will suffer much worse because of the government manipulation and control. The entire system will crash and everyone will suffer. But at least you now have more time to prepare for that collapse. All for the mere cost of hyper-inflation as the only way the bills can be paid. I don't know how much time, other than to guess that if this was a a capitalist system instead of a socialist one we would already be in soup lines instead of comfortably reading drivel like this on the computer.

You have been granted a reprieve. Don't waste it, prep like your life depends on it.

Amazingly, for now, the dollar is going up in value along with gold. Beware when the value of the dollar goes down and gold continues to go up. That will be the beginning of the end: hyperinflation.
as if it really matters, or anybody cares: i'm a christian-anarchist...serve god/good or serve the state ?
why waste time and energy on analyzing the cause and collapse of satan's empire (wall street)? when there's always ways of making changes in your life and improving yourself as well as preparing for an uncertain future.
sure some of the choices may suck, but that's life. so the idea is to make things suck less...
check this out, irate proletariats taking to the streets everywhere EXCEPT the US...

i suppose it's because AMERIKANS are too ZOMBIFRIED by the glass-toilet, their soda and chips. mostly AMERIKANS are too fat, dumb downed and just plain lazy to survive....

What do "christian-anarchists" do, throw Molotovs for Jesus?
Good post, man. We can't fix it, it's much too late. What sort of end game do you think will happen? A sort of "Long Emergency" scenario?
...i feel pity for those who have chosen not to prepare...someone...oh,say...six months into preppin' may be all right...but i doubt they have the proper mindset for this stage of the game...make the best use of yer time folks',for we are running out of it !...Hyperinflation,twenty dollar milk,ten dollar bread,blah blah blah,will be the true begining of the end...
The PTB are preparing by teaching Marines and the Army to Kill Americans who resist or revolt over in Iraq. They are trying thier darnest to disarm us. This is a brief reprieve, Prep like hell, learn to shoot and be ready to bug out.
No Name
I think Christian anarchist tip over the money changers tables:)
I liked the scene in "28 WEEKS LATER" when they had to open fire on the crowds. I don't know how many of are marines and soldiers would follow those types of orders here, in a real world situation but I am sure there would be plenty.
James, I don't think you are truly a "pure anarchist". If you were, you would favor a totalitarian government. That's because anarchy isn't a form of government, it is just a temporary transitional phase to a new type of government, typically totalitarian.
See this video for more info, beginning at 2:45:

An anarchist is anyone who doesn't need a cop to tell him what to do.

btw, for all you foul smelling trolls out their who think that sissy Obama and the government are going to save your ass !!!!
ha! ha! ha! wake up slave boy....
uhhh, if you believe that libertarians are communists, you do not have a basic grasp of either term

Dakin doesn't have a clue about a a lot of things... That is why I get facts at other, better informed blogs and I jus come here for entertainment and teh odd tidbit of useful info and website links--and usually they are in the letters--not in Fakin' Dakin's posts!

Good post, Dakin. I agree that the government is giving the smart people more time to prepare. Of course I mentioned to my wife last night that when the end comes it looks like only the ultra-conservatives will be left with guns and food. All the kool aid drinkers will be too busy asking Obama for gas and a house payment and will never see the steam roller roll right over them.
4.16pm - anyone who thinks that the military (whatever arm) or police won't put down civilians has rocks in their heads.
American soldiers / marines / navy / air force will shoot Americans not a problem. Give 'em a plausible reason and it's game on.
Seriously. Do you think for a moment that the Germans in Nazi Germany were all Psycho's? Nope. They were "just following orders". Think that US Marines won't follow similar orders? Americans are torturing people right now. Do you think it's a big step from torturing a rag head to torturing an overweight American enemy combatant?
>>only the ultra-conservatives will be left with guns and food.
If ignorance is bliss, I'm sure you are a happy camper. Along with a lot of your other beliefs, I'm sure, this is based on you're ignorant, bigoted opinion and not based on fact. I don't know how much you have put away for the future, but you've got enough hate to last a life time.
Re: 2:53 AM
I wouldn't worry so much about 8:55 PM. I don't feel he's a bigot or hateful just because he doesn't agree with you and just because he sees positive aspects of some conservative ideas and some negative aspects of liberal ideas. I believe you really missed his point.
Generous that I am, I give you this warning. There is such a thing as ultra-liberal bigotry. Please think about it. Liberal bigotry can be just as knee-jerk and just as annoying and just as dangerous as conservative bigotry. Also, wishful thinking, conservative or liberal, is not going to get us through tough times.
>>I believe you really missed his point.
actually 3:11, it is you who missed the point. I know of a fair number of folks who would not be in the "ultra-conservative" camp who are prepared, do have guns, and do have food. To be a self described ultra-conservative and then make statements that only ultra-conservatives are prepared for the future is bigoted. If that stuck a nerve, maybe you need to take a critical look at yourself and your opinion of others.
To the question of whether US troops would harm American citizens, take a look at the history of the Bonus Marchers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army where Patton and MacArthur not only attacked American citizens, but veterans and their families!
>>I believe you really missed his point. and all the ultra-conservative stuff.
Well, if that's the way you think, then you really didn't miss the point.
There are two types of people in the world: those who think there are two types of people and those who don't.
Actually, there are many types of people. "Bigotry" is a much used slander word so over used in so many contexts (in attempts to slander someone else), I feel the word has totally lost all meaning.
I love the oxymoron: christian anarchist.
I'd love to see you saved, but i got this thing i need to do...
called SELF-SUFFICIENCY...
W.W.J.D.??
[Answeer: PREPARE]
Are you???
C.
Cyrus, well here's a real oxymoron:
'fresh frozen jumbo shrimp'...
i suppose that it's almost pointless to point out to people that there's a difference between 'anarchism' and 'anarchy in the streets'....
sadly as our kulture descends into darkness, the debate over the role of society and government has degenerated into "what's in it for me thinking"....
if you noticed, the horse thieves in DC, won't cut either MEDIFRAUD, SOCIAL INSECURITY, or EDUCATION, because that's where the votes are at.
but, anyway, anarchism is about 'voluntary and mutual', not hot air from idiot leaders and cops with guns if you don't pay for it (taxes)....there was a piece in the paper about Ed and Elaine Brown, their back in NH and are facing new charges and LIFE imprisonment. gee, you only get 10 years here if you go out and rape some little children...
as i've gotten older, i've begun to feel that 'politics' is virtually meaningless and a distraction from daily activities and spiritual goals.
but, then i like to also distance myself from other 'christains', among them the bible thumpers, much of the born-again crowd, as well as the various annoying evangelicals...not that the progressives or 'liberation theology' crowd are any more interesting....
as to preps, yes, i'm prepared. will i make it ? i don't know...

Tough times indeed. But there is opportunity in shake-ups like this. Keep your eyes open and your options open.
Actually it can be fixed.. Introducing my household finance plan which most Americans have to live under.
Step One - Reduce federal expenditures in line with expected revenues based upon the previous fiscal year. (1.2 trillion in - 1.2 trillion out).
Step Two - cut current spending to existing revenue. No deficit spending by law. If emergency occurs which requires additional spending outside of budget, another program must be cut to pay for it.
Step Three - cut all programs in percentages based upon income. If the "approved spend list" is 400 billion more than the income, than all programs - ALL programs - are cut proportionately based upon that percentage. This is the nuclear option which will force spending to be in line with revenue.
Step Four - Federal law change (will require several) to put all SS and Medicare payments into separate receiver. This will be tricky because all income goes into the General Fund where it is earmarked annually. There is no lockbox. Step Four.One - do the same will all gasoline taxes, telephone fees and so which were levied for certain expenses such as highways, etc.
Step Five - stimulate the economy. Cut taxes for the next fiscal year across the board. Whether it is one percent or five, all taxable levels will be cut. Money will go its rightful owner - the taxpayer.
Step Six - Reorganize budget based upon expected lower tax revenues due to tax cuts. While economists can show you that tax cuts actually increase tax revenue, better be safe than sorry. When additional tax revenues arrive, see step Eight.
Step Seven - Start eliminating federal spending programs and whole departments. There are some easy juicy targets here whose creation defies logic.
Step Eight - By law, all "surpluses" (tax revenues received over the budget in a fiscal year) must be applied to the federal debt. Nothing to change here, but make the public aware of it and move on. No more trumpeting about surpluses and where they are needed. Just quietly pay down the debt.
Step Nine - Eliminate all Federal 'non-voting' spending. Many programs and pay raises have to voted 'against' or they continue automatically. Ridiculous. All Federal spending will be up for revote every year.
Step Ten - step back and check the following: Current federal tax receipts, federal tax spending since implementing this plan, reduction in national debt and citizen income levels since implementation.
Step Ten.One - Once a year have a telethon to raise money to buy back U.S. debt from foreign nations. It will be lots of fun watching the numbers add up. This will also be a national holiday
